In January 2006 the largest branch on the tree (seen most commonly, in older photos, as an "L" or golf-club shape, protruding from about a quarter of the way down the trunk) broke off. There were no witnesses to the incident, and the branch — larger than most tree trunks; diameter over 2 m (6.6 ft) and length over 30 m (98 ft) — smashed part of the perimeter fence and cratered the pavement of the surrounding walkway. The breakage is not believed to be indicative of any abnormalities in the tree's health, and may even be a natural defense mechanism against adverse weather conditions
Height 279 ft
Diameter at base 36.5 ft
Mass 2,105 short tons

Age of General Sherman assumed to be 2000 yrs per some sources; oldest Sequoia tree 3200 yr by tree ring dating. Sequoia trees could be evidence of growth post Noah Flood especially with it resistance to disease. Yet, there are problems with the assumption of one growth ring per year (not discussed here-see article on bristle cone pines https://creation.com/evidence-for-multiple-ring-growth-per-year-in-Bristlecone-pines.)
